Abstract: | Dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a cancer chemopreventive agent that has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro, and to decrease vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Flk-1 concentrations in the mouse mammary gland. To determine which isomer mediates the antiangiogenic effects of CLA in vivo, the effects of diets supplemented with 5 or 10 g/kg c9,t11- or t10,c12-CLA isomers were compared in CD2F1Cr mice. Both isomers inhibited functional vascularization of a matrigel pellet in vivo and decreased serum VEGF concentrations; the t10,c12 isomer also decreased the proangiogenic hormone leptin (P < 0.05). Additionally, the t10,c12 isomer, but not c9,t11-CLA, rapidly induced apoptosis of the white and brown adipocytes as well as the preexisting supporting vasculature of the mammary fat pad (P < 0.05). Independent of this isomer-specific adipose apoptotic effect, both isomers induced a rapid and reversible decrease in the diameter of the unilocular adipocytes (P < 0.05). The ability of both CLA isomers to inhibit angiogenesis in vivo may contribute to their ability to inhibit carcinogenesis. Moreover, we propose that each CLA isomer uniquely modifies the mammary stromal "soil" in a manner that is useful for chemoprevention of breast cancer. |
